Payment terms may already exist in the master data and can also be agreed individually. The payment terms may be missing, or there may be different payment terms for an invoice than those generally agreed with a vendor, for example.
You must have permission to change the payment terms (header data). If required, please contact your administration.
You have the following options in the capture form of an invoice:
-
If the payment terms are missing, you can simply select them from the master data.
-
If other payment terms have been agreed for an invoice, you can enter these manually.
If there are no payment terms and you add payment terms, you can only change the payment terms, but never delete them completely (original status).
Here's how
-
Click on Payment terms in the ribbon in the capture form.
-
Depending on the situation, select either Master data or Free input in the dialog under Data.
-
If you select Master data, select the correct data from the master data under Payment terms. The fields with the details are filled in automatically.
-
If, for example, the existing data on payment terms needs to be changed, select Free input and fill in the following fields accordingly.
-
If you want to enter the payment term for an invoice manually, the following fields are available:
-
Cash discount section:
-
Under Percent, enter the number of percent cash discount to be applied.
-
Under Days, enter the day of the month by which the invoice is due in order to receive a cash discount.
-
Under Following month, enter a number for how many following months from the invoice date a cash discount applies.
-
-
Net section:
-
Under Days, enter the day of the month by which the net amount must be paid.
-
Under Following month, enter a number for how many following months from the invoice date the net amount is due.
-
Once you have entered the details, click on Save.
